I went straight to my room to get the paper with Calix's number.

I made a call and he answered right away. "Cassey?" Calix answered.

"Yeah, its me. Are you home now?"

"Not yet."

"I'm sorry. I'll just call you later."

"No, its fine. Is there any problem?"

"None. I'm just wondering where you've been. Look, I don't want to talk to you while you're driving, I'll just call you later."

"I'll call you." Then he hang up.

A few minutes later my phone started to ring.

"Cassey! What's up?"

"Hey stranger!"

"Miss me that much munchkins?"

I laughed. "What munchkins? Are you hungry? Dreaming of talking to food?"

"Bake for me?"

I stopped breathing. Its about the way he said it.

"Uhm.. sure!" I just said.

"Now?"

"Well no. First of all, I don't think I have the complete ingredients here, and second, its late!"

"But I miss you."

Oh Calix, what's happening to you today?

"You should, stranger." I said with a teasing voice, hoping that the conversation will go smoothly. I don't know where it will go. I feel my heart stopping everytime he talks like this.

"Allow me to introduce myself. Lady Cassena of New York/Clemens, I am Calix Peter Westbourne from the town of Epscot, I am the first born of the Duke and Duchess, I have a younger sister, Lady Claire Antoinette Westborne. I am currently believed to be the most handsome and the pride of Epscot, it was nice for you to meet me."

I laughed. I didn't know Calix's full name and that she has a sister. Its seems unfair that I didn't ask him about any of this thing. I promise to ask more about him next time we see each other.

"Very well introduced Lord Calix, but maybe being a little meek wouldn't hurt also."

We laughed.

"Been busy lately?" I asked about his absence for the week. I know its about Tatiana but I don't want to directly ask him about it, I wonder how he even knew Tatiana is there.

"A little. I'm guessing you too?"

"Just normal routines at camp. Though there's a little tension with Ta..." I was trying to avoid to saying Tatiana but thanks to my mouth, always working  according to plan.

"Tatiana." He said. I nod, looking sorry as I am.

"I know. I saw her there."

"You went to camp?"

"Yes, I planned to drop by and check on the kids but I saw her so I trailed back." Only the kids? I kind of felt sad, disappointed.

"Come here tomorrow, we'll bake some munchkins." I said. Partly to cheer him up, and partly for me to see him.

"You'll really bake for me?"

"No, I just really want to bake and I need someone to eat it."

"Though luck."

"So, you'll come here then?"

"Of course! Need any ingredients?"

"I'll go shop tomorrow. I don't know what they have here."
